parents, sometimes they still need parental advice

Sometimes children, even "young adult" children, need to be told they shouldn't do something, or at least have another option brought to their attention. (yes this does have to do with the wedding)

Case in point: To my surprise, The Foley's were at Josh and Meagan's wedding. Upon asking, I found out that Josh invited them and "wanted them to be there." Now, I have not talked to him about this but I can tell you that he "wanted" them there so that he could say "The Foley's" were at my wedding. To him, it's a cool thing and something that makes him seem more "Springhill." Obviously, he is incapable of thinking of anyone other than himself in this situation because if he were, he would have thought about me and how weird, uncomfortable, and shocking that would be for me to see them there. Furthermore, he could have thought about Jason and how weird that would be for him as well. Josh doesn't even know them or have any association with them!! Now, some adult (e.g. my Mom or Dad) must have seen that their names were on the guest list. A sensible person (me, for example) would have said, "Josh, I don't think it's a great idea to invited the Foley's."

It has been awhile since my last post...yeah, yeah, yeah

our current status:

I'm sitting here at work per usual

Jason is in Dothan. He has been there since yesterday and will be coming back tonight. He has only been gone for one night, but I still miss him so much. It's just not the same when he isnt around.

This past weekend was my brother's wedding. Boy, am I glad that's over!! I did have a good time and everything looked really nice. It was all the preparation that really got me down. It seems like, for weddings where the emphasis is on the decorations and what everyone is going to wear, that there isn't much emphasis left for the actual purpose of the day. the fact that two people are joining their lives together forever somehow gets lost in all the madness of the days leading up to the wedding. So, just being involved (grudgingly) in this wedding reminded me of why Jason and I got married the way we did and why I'm so happy that we both felt the same way about it. we really didnt want to do anything fancy or get all wrapped up in what we would eat, or wear, or

what everyone would think of it. we really got married just for us and just happen to invite our friends and family along. and, the coolest part, is that i know we would both do it exactly the same way if we had to do it over again.

I'm just happy we found each other =)
